Great news! I switched the doe and buck and put them in each others cages overnight and tried again this morning and he fell over! Twice! I\'m so excited because she\'s the doe that my daughter has won 2 Best of Breeds with. Something funny happened afterwards though that was something that we\'d never seen before with our Mini Rex. After our Holland Lop buck finally got things right (because the doe was finally cooperating) he started thumping his back legs really hard against the cage making a really loud sound. He thumped and shook all the cages and did it over and over as if to congratulate himself. It was really strange. For as long as he was in the same cage as the doe, he did this. Once he was separated, he stopped doing it. I think he was just proud of himself! Thanks for the advice everyone, this board has really helped us out. I\'ll let you know how many kits we get in 31 days...
